ET200 FPV Transmitter Backpack

thingiverse

I wanted a FPV backpack that could be carried by my variety of RC aircraft, including my FT mini Scout, and was also easy to assemble. To meet this goal, I designed a system that weighed only 22g. It can be attached via a couple of slots on the airplane and a velcro "cable keeper" strap. Another piece of velcro may be added under the case for extra security, but it's likely not necessary. The camera, attached with double-stick foam tape, is powered directly from the VTX, which can power it along with a main flight battery or an independent 2S, 3S, 4S, 5S, or 6S lipo battery. The transmitter takes in a range of 7V to 24V and puts out a clean 5V to the camera, purchased through Amazon for ease. I'm thinking about adding another mount that allows adjustment of the camera angle, which would provide more mounting options on multirotors. The transmitter is used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WQZNZ54, while the camera can be found at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEXTOMA. The circular polarized antenna purchased for this build is at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LGM2U0E. Once you've completed the print job, it's time to decide how much cable is needed to connect the camera to the VTX. Solder the connections directly if desired before placing them in the case. Next, install the VTX into the case using foam tape, hot glue, or a simple friction fit. The velcro strap will keep it secured and easily removable. Mount the camera securely with foam tape, hot glue, or other materials of choice. Once complete, strap your new FPV setup to an RC airplane for use.
